Hi again! This is my second post for today. If you would like to see my Waltzingmouse waltz card, please scroll down!

I have a lot of Bella goodness to share with you today, so grab a cup of your favorite beverage! :-)

To me, the fun pastels combined with brighter hues is so classic
Bella! This card combines all of that, plus many of my favorite
Bella embellishments - Ciao Chip chipboard pieces, Flags, Buttons,
and Sentiment Stickers! For a little extra fun, I added some
chunky glitter around the edge of the cupcake!

Wedding cards are so much fun to make! I used papers, stickers,
and chipboard from the new Love and Marriage collection. For
embellishment, I added some Yellow Chevron Designer Tape and a
White Crochet Heart.

I just adore the new Freestyle Sophisticates collection! I
couldn't decide which colors to use first, so I chose five of
them! After I stitched on the background pieces, I layered on
some chipboard, stickers, Designer Tape, and a Pink Flower button!

I love combining new collections with older ones! Here, I used
Bella's Birthday Girl collection but added some new Designer Tape
and a Pickle Juice Crochet Heart! I love how all of the colors go
so well together!

Good morning! I'm waltzing along with the other Waltzingmouse Design Team ladies today! We are showcasing our favorite (to date) set!

There are SO many Waltzingmouse sets that I could call my favorite...I truly couldn't choose just one! Because I am really longing for some Spring like weather, I immediately went for the Vintage Garden Seed Packet set. I adore how versatile this set is!

I combined several Prima patterned papers together along with a stamped border (using the Pic-Nic Patterns background set). For some extra texture, I added some Crystal Glaze with glitter to the flowers.

You won't want to miss any of the eye candy that the Design Team ladies have created! Clare is your next stop on the waltz, but here's the list in case you want to go back and start from the beginning...

Happy Monday friends! I'm the Mix It Up Monday hostess this week over at Stamp TV! The challenge this week is to use at least 3 buttons on your card or project! You all know that I love me some buttons! :-)

I wanted a subtle sentiment, so I stamped one of the sentiments (included in the Stately Flowers 1 set) using Versamark ink three times along the bottom. And, just because I love glitter, I added some around the edge of the top layer as well as a little to the tips of the flower petals!

If you have some time, I would love it if you played along with the challenge! You can read all of the details HERE!

Thanks so much for stopping by! I hope your day included a little time to get inky! :-) ~Laurie
